Extending thiou h thefront of the cabinet 10 isa rotatable s iaft 16 having a lrnob 17 secured to the outer end thereof by a suitable pin 18, as shown in Figure 6. Integral with the knob 17 is a pointer 19 which is adapted to point toward one of theobjects on the dial 15 when the knob 17 is turned tov any desired position. f

Figure 11 shows the reversed side of dial 15 and when the dial as shown1 in Figure 1 is removed and'reversedfthe pointer 19 is adapted to be'rotated so'as to select any one of thel questions shownon dial 15 lin vFigure 11. In` theright side of Figure 1 is shown a slot 20through which theextension ofv handle 'zev 13 is adapted to pass for operating the amuse* Y ment device. i

In Figure 3 is shown the coin receiver 21 positionedr above'the frame 22, and in Figure 1 positioned beneath the coin slot 11.r -Vhen y a coin is dropped into slot 11 itpasses down through the receiver 21, through the slide member 23and into asimilar slide 2e. to 'the position shown inFi'gure 4in which the coin 25 is lrestingupon the lever 26, Which is pivote-d on `a cross shaft 27. Themember 26 is integral with a member 28 and a similar member 29,'vvhich has ahook member 30 `near the end for engaging a lug` 31 on an arm 32 which is rigidly secured to .the side framemember 33by .means ofla suitable bolt 341., as' best shown iin Figure 9. Crossbar 27 is rigidlyv secured' to a `U4 shaped member 35 having-downwardly ezitending'arms 36 and 37. `Said U shaped rmember is pivoted on Jdie cross bar 38, which is rigidly secured to the frame inembers39`and 40, as` shown `iii 4Figures 3 ande).y Pivoted to theloiver end of member 36 is a Wire extension 11, the

other'endof YWhich passes through a 'hole ft2 y in/the upper end of an oscillating `firing/13 jwhich is rigidly secured to a U shaped member 14 by means of` rivetsy or solder in any 'suitable manner, and adapted to oscillate `with said` memberllnrhich is pivoted on a j Vcross bar 4.5 extending between framemem bers 4.6`and 47. Alsmsecured toa U shaped member 445 by means of rivets i8 is an arm 19.r having` a' roller 50 secured toene end by means of a bolt 51. The other endof sai-d barlQlis pivotally secured to an upwardly ezitendiiig'bar 52 Whicl'i `has a slot 53 in the lower endthereoffor the purpose of adjustmentA on the pivot bolt 54. Also, pivoted on bolt 54C a member 55 which formed inte s slidable member 127, bymeans of a coil spring 12S secured between the yupperend of the hook lever 123 and the bar member to questions on one sidea to be used w 112 as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5. The sldable member 127 is suspended by a coil. spring 128 from a-suitable lug 129. A sheet metal guard member 130 iswelded to member 12'? at a point 131 for the purpose of protecting the spring from damage, which might result from engagement with hoolr 125, ii? itwere not protected. y o

The member 127 is slidably guided through an opening 132 in a divided cross member 133, and near the lower end of the slidable member 127 is secured the o} 3erating handle 13, operable in the slot 134 in the side trame member 135. When theV handle 18 is depressed the member 127 is drawn downward'- ly7 it thereby pulls yhoolr 125 along with it to the cross member 133 where it is tripped from engagement with member 127A by the inner side 186 of. the divided member 133. A stili' wire member 137 is pivoted to the frame member 39 by a bolt 138, and the opposite end thereof is curved as shown at 139. and is held into frictional engagement with one or more of the 'rigid pin members L10, by a coil spring 14:1 secured to member 13T through a lug 11127 and to the top 'frame member 22 by a bolt 14:34 having nuts 14:11 'thereon. On the lowerside of memberl" is a `de endine' member 1415 which has an end no member 35.' The coin slot 21 is suitably heldV in a vertical position by lug membersl fand 150 (ldigure). The roller 100 isnorma lly held in ei'igagement with the lower side of the camA wheel 102 byl a suitable spring 151 and said roller may cause arm 98 to oscillate when the roller 'is moved by means oit the rotation ot said cam wheel.,` having a plurality or' cam projections 152 thereon.

@n the front end ot the cross shaft 153 secured a frange member 15-1 which is bolted to a metal disk 141 by boltsv 155 'tor Causing said disk 14 to rotate with. the shaft` 153 and the hollow cylinder 70. rlhe disk 111 has a" vers the questions on the one side oli' disk 15 shown in Figures and 11. Onthev other side of dislrll are sii; groups o'sisz ra objects, and for the purpose oi?illustration ranged diterently so that there are di erent combinations.v rEhe combinations are so au' l have' chosen horses,'but anyother movable obgects could be used. Each group ot horses is. ar-l sixth place and likewise with each of the other horses from Number 2 to Number Ginclusire,`

and their relative positionis indicated by the numbers belou7V thegroups o1" horses; the top row of numbers designates thek place or relative position, w iereas the row directly be neath designates the'horse which is in that particular place with respect to the others. Near the bottom of Figure 1 is shown thedisk showing side forward which, has horses thereonand adapted to be used togetherwitn a side of disl; 14 shown in Figure 2 and at the top of Figure 1. f

1n operation my amusement device ,t'unctions, as. follows:

`A coin is dropped in the coin slot 1,1 and it slides downwardly through slots 23 dhd24; into the p sition where itis shown as in Fig ure 4. 1n this position the coin 25 rests on the arm 26 or the U-shaped member 2S and causes the hook member 30 to become disengaged from bool; 31, and arm 29 is thereby elevatedV into engagement with lug 111-1? as shown' in Figure 9. The device is now in condition to be operated by the downward movement ot handle 13 which draws the sliding bar 12T Vdownward and the hoolr lever together with members52 and 112. 111s the bar 112'is drawn vdoxunward the hook lever`110 slides downwardly over the ends of teeth 108 Ton the di 70 and is caused to engage beneath one oi said teeth by means ot the stress of spring 113.

lfihen lever 13 has reached approxima'rely*the bottom ot slot 13-1, the front portion 13G of the divided cross bar 133 is orced in between the bool( leyer128 and the sliding member 12Eu so as toi''orce the hook 1.25 trom engatmment with, member 12'?, and spri gs 118 and 13'? cause the Various members to return to their normal positionu and in so doing hoch 109 in engagement with teeth 10S causer.; the cylii'ider 1'() and the dish 14.- to rotate W'hen .the bar 52 was in 'the lowered p sition it forced the plunger 56 outwardly trom the cylinder 59, and the member 12S being pivotedat l15 rocked baclrwarely into ein' Ure-- ment Withthe,portion 14:6 ot depending ber 145, and thereby caused n'iemberl 3'? tov be `drawn downwardly aboutits pivotll and the curved portion 13?r was thereby drawn out of engagement'with pins 110, ellowingitree rotation ofthecylinder70. y i f Thebar 52is provided with slots 53 :and

15S so as toullow meniber 1,12 to .return sud-y denly'to its upwardposition ther l rapid rotation to cylinder G70. 137, having a curved nortir {Which is adaptedtoaet a; a lu'auefon pins le() of the cylinder 70, is slowly reti ed to its normal position because it .is held 'l in rapid with member 1&6. and as bar is vweldedlo the bar/19, both of them are piratedabout'the` 125y movement by means oibar Lljin ein igei'nent same shaftfi and the upward n orenient of i n cylinder 59 by piston 57. After the air has had time to lealr out ot the cylinder 59 the bar 49 has assumed its normal position and bar 13?' has been released from engagement with bar 43, and the curved portion 189 trictionally engaged pins 1il0 and caused the cylinder and the disk 14e to stop rotation at one of siX possible positions as the member 139 positions itself partially between two ot the pins 140 as shown in Figure 9.

lll/Then the cylinder 70 stops, as ernlaired, it will have stopped in one oisix posk ble posilustration shown in Fisk;-

pped in such a position e 68/ on the end et bar 6 as to allow pin inwardly through an opening 69 in hollow cylinder. lvllnn the handle 18 was forced downwardly it rotated bar L18 oi. the

ly suiiiciently to allor.' the coin to pi i the end ot arm 26, and b ar 2% what explained, it allowed bar (n to rotate on its anis and raise the member '72 so as to clear member 73 from engagement therewith, and spring 75 caused member 78 to rotate on its axis 77 and thereby positioning the lip 159 ot the coin slot 78 directly beneath the end oit slot 24e so as to receive the coin as it slipped by the end oi" arm 26.

As the mechanism assumes its normal position the slot 78 assumes a vertical position beneath the eno of slot 9A so that the coin'is tree. to slide down through said slot 78 onto the lip 160 of thelower coin slot 81, and when the pin 68 passes into the cylinder 70 the member 72 rotates member 78 downwardly on its pivot 77 and tilts the coin slot 78 sidewise into the position shown in Figure 9, and allows the coin to slip into the lower slot 81, but the arm Z 9 having the extension 80 thereon obstruets the slot 81 so that the coin is preif'ented :trom sliding down into the coin retur i member 12 until the next operation of the amusement device.

llhen member 78 rotates on its axis 77 to the position shown in Figure 9, the members 79 and 88 also rotate about the axis 77 and as member 83 is in engagement with the lower endet member 86 it pulls downwardly on the saine, thereby rotating the triangular' plate 87 ab nt its 88 against the resistance of spring 96 and presents to view the metal flag marked Yes as shown in Figures 1 'and 2 and the 'fla marked Not being` positioned on the saine cross member 92 is caused to be lifted troni normal position over ,the words on tl c dislr Your coin will be returned next play, thereby notifying the player that he will receive his coin when the device is again operated.

llhen the device is again operated by means of handle 13, the member 7 2 is lifted, as previously described, which allows member 79 to rotate on the axis 77 and releases the coin which it is Vholding back in slot 81, and the coin is received in the member 12 shown in Figure 1. At the saine time the coin which has been used tor playing the device this vtime has fallen downwardly onto the lip 159 and, as previously described, downwardly through slot 78 onto the top or' lip 160, and in case the pin 68 engages the side of cylinder 70 instead of passing through an opening 69 the member 7 8 is rotated just sutciently to assume a vertical position beneath slot 211 and the coin remains positioned on the edge olf lip 160, but does not pass downwardly into slot 8l.

1When held in this position. the spring 96 rotates the triangular plate 78 about it-s axis sufficiently to withdraw the Yes flag from exposure to the operators view and drops the Not Hag over the words Your coin will be returned next play, thereby showing the operator that his question has been answered in the negative, and that he will not receive his coin on the next play, or if the dials shown in Figure 1 happen to be used it indicates that the. horse selected by the pointer 19 has not won the race.

For the purpose of selecting a question to be answered or a horse toA win the race, it is necessary to rotate knob 17 and the pointer 19 which rotates the cam wheel 102 causing one ot the cams thereon to litt the arm t9 and rotate the arm 43 on its axis, which allows the member 7 2 to be lifted and which in turn allows spring 7 to rotate coin slot 78 on its axis and drop the coin, which is held on lip 160, into a coin box which would be positioned at anysuitable point within the cabinet. When the knob 17 is rotated it causes the set screw 105 to torce the cylinder 106 lengthwise of cylinder 103, together with the arm 107 which moves arm 67 and pin 68 in the same direction, thereby setting the pin 68 at any desired point along the side ot cylinder 70, and thereby selecting an opening into which the slot 68 is adapted to pass in case the cylinder stops in a position with said opening beneath the end or the pin 68, and by this means Athe horse which wins the race is se'- lected when the cylinder stops so as to permit the pin 68 to pass into one ot the openings 69, but it the cylinder does not stop in that position the horse selected. did not win the race.

As has been hereinbetore explained, the

disk 14 may be positioned in such a `way as to expose either side to the operator and the corresponding side ot disk 15 should also be used, vand in this way it is obvious that my invention may be operated either as a fortune telling machine or a racing machine.

While l have described my invention in its preferred form, it is capable of variations without departing Jroin the spirit of the invention, and, therefore, l do not wish to be limited tothe precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself ot such variations and modifications as come Within' the scope of the'appended claims.
